The Wago 221-413 Compact Splicing Connector is a high-quality electrical component designed to simplify wiring tasks. This connector allows for the quick and secure joining of up to three conductors, supporting solid, stranded, and fine-stranded wires with cross-sections between 0.2 and 4 mm². Utilizing advanced lever-operated technology, it eliminates the need for traditional tools, providing a reliable connection that is both easy to install and reusable.
Advantages
The primary benefit of the Wago 221-413 is its user-friendly lever design, which allows for rapid wire insertion and release without requiring screwdrivers or specialized equipment. Its compact size makes it perfect for tight spaces, such as junction boxes, where room is limited. The transparent housing allows for visual inspection of the connection, ensuring that wires are properly inserted and stripped to the correct length. Furthermore, the robust construction ensures long-term electrical stability and safety in various wiring environments.
Suitable for
- Residential electrical wiring installations
- Connecting lighting fixtures and LED drivers
- Junction box wiring and distribution
- DIY electrical projects and home repairs
- Connecting motors and control systems
When it may not be suitable
This connector is not intended for use with high-voltage industrial applications exceeding 450 V or currents higher than 32 A. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments exposed to moisture or direct weather conditions unless housed in an appropriate IP-rated enclosure.
Key specifications
- Number of connection points: 3
- Conductor cross-section range: 0.2 to 4 mm²
- Maximum voltage: 450 V
- Maximum current: 32 A
- Color: Orange and transparent
- Quantity: 50 pieces
How to use
To use the connector, first strip approximately 11 mm of insulation from the end of each conductor. Lift the orange lever on the connector to the open position, insert the stripped wire fully into the terminal, and then push the lever back down to lock the wire securely in place. Repeat this process for the remaining conductors. The connection is now complete and ready for use.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the total current and voltage of your circuit do not exceed the connector's rated limits.
- Verify that your wire type and cross-section fall within the supported range of 0.2 to 4 mm².
- Check the available space in your junction box to ensure the compact size is sufficient for your wiring layout.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before performing any electrical work to prevent injury. Verify that each wire is fully inserted and the lever is completely closed to maintain a secure electrical contact.
